Metro bank robbery turns into bomb scare

The FBI said a bomb threat made by two suspects in a Wednesday Warr Acres bank robbery was a hoax.

Agents said the device inside the suspects' car was a "bomb hoax device."

The incident began Wednesday morning when a man walked into the Bank of the West location at 5757 Northwest Expressway and asked to speak to someone about getting a loan, according to investigators. FBI agents said a loan officer then escorted the man to the back of the bank where he passed a note to the bank employee demanding $50,000 and saying he had C-4 explosives.

The suspect then showed the loan officer a device inside a bag that appeared to be a bomb, according to the FBI. The suspect was given the money and then he went to a nearby parking lot where a woman was waiting in and car and the two then fled the scene, investigators said.

Both suspects, who have not been identified by police, were apprehended near Northwest 33rd Street and Ann Arbor Boulevard, according to the FBI. The Oklahoma City bomb squad was called in after the suspects told investigators that there was a bomb inside the car they were driving.
